SUNRISE — An armed suspect who tried to rob a pharmacist at a Super Discount drug store Monday was found hiding in a field less than an hour later by a K-9 unit from the Broward Sheriff`s Office, authorities said.

Timothy Cadora, 31, of Pompano Beach, was armed with a handgun when he demanded codeine and other controlled drugs from the pharmacist, said Sunrise Det. Sgt. Bob Biondolillo.

The pharmacist, whose name was not released, in turn took out a gun and scuffled with the suspect. Cadora suffered cuts to the head and a broken hand before fleeing the store, at 2782 N. University Drive, around 3:20 p.m., Biondolillo said.
